Permission & Ethics Inquiry for Non-Commercial Academic Research (ArtifyAD)
Hello Kandinsky team,
We are fourth-year Computer Science students at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. Our undergraduate thesis, ArtifyAD, is a binary classifier that labels an artwork as human-made or AI-generated and explains its decision.
We would like to use Kandinsky 3 to generate images that will serve as labelled examples of AI-generated artwork for training and testing our detector. We have read the Apache 2.0 license on this model, and our use is limited to non-commercial academic research. We will not redistribute the generated images or the model weights, the detector does not generate images, and we will cite Kandinsky 3 in our thesis.
Our university's Research Ethics Committee asks us to keep a record of contacting each model owner. A short reply confirming you have no objection would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for releasing Kandinsky 3.
Sincerely,
Isiah Gabriel Arcos, Lead Researcher
